The biggest news is really the meta-news that there are 3 news stories about ADHM to one about Shivaay. Clearly, the people who run English language industry news sites are pretty sure that their readers care more about ADHM then Shivaay news.
Two very different movies! Both of which released “dialogue” trailers. Although, I guess all American trailers are dialogue trailers? Unless they are action trailers, I suppose.
I don’t know enough about him, and Hema exhausted me, so Prithviraj has to content himself with a simple dozen reasons I love him.
Happy Birthday again Hema Malini! I got all the way through Seeta Aur Geeta in my first post, which is barely into your career, but it did get me over a 3rd of the way through your life (so far).
Another October birthday that deserves the full number of reasons to love her. So get ready for multiple Hema posts to get us up to 68! (part 2 here)
Okay, I am gently dipping my toe back to the news pool, after being more or less out of it for the past few days. Two nice simple easy stories.
I’m still sick. Way too sick to deal with anything emotional or challenging like a post about a movie, or even gossip news or box office. Instead, I am sitting around listening to super soothing songs. Just in case you are ever this sick (and I hope you aren’t! This is terrible!), I’ll share my play list with you.
I’m still sick, so this may not be as logical and clear as it could be. But I still have to report it because it is SO BIG!
Unfortunately for poor Ashok Kumar, his brother Kishore died on his birthday. After which Ashok stopped celebrating his birthday. I didn’t stop celebrating it, but I will acknowledge Ashok’s wishes by also putting up a post in honor of Kishore’s death. And also, I am still really sick and a Kishore themed post seems like something I can do without thinking too much.

I am super sick, so my brain head typing fingers aren’t really working. I can’t handle anything complicated, like my usual “reasons I love you style birthday posts”. But I think I am up to writing a little narrative of Ashok Kumar’s life. Even if I can’t handle all the many many news stories that are coming out and I should really be talking about (nothing huge, like Shahrukh getting a divorce or something, but I’d really like to talk about the Censor Board certificate for Ae Dil at some point in the distant future when I no longer feel like death).

Force 2 is coming out, which finally got me to go back and watch the first one. I remember there was a lot of buzz about a “whole other kind of John Abraham movie”, and I remember really liking the songs. And then I remember learning about the plot and deciding that I didn’t want to see it after all.

This is my favorite kind of post, the “Ha! I am a GENIUS who is always right!” kind of post. A couple of days ago when the COEAI group announced they might be considering a ban, I put together the little scraps of information and deduced a variety of things. And they are all true! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!
I already put up the posts for the more important (to this site) holiday for the day, Amitabh’s birthday!!! But now it’s time for the less important post, celebrating the victory of good over evil, blah blah blah.
Happy Birthday again Amitji! I already posted reasons 1-25 that I love you, now here are reasons 26-50. (50 to 74 here)
Feel free to disagree! But my reaction, after watching it, is that it is trying so hard to be “different” from the regular Indian films, that it ended up being exactly the same as a million other western films. Most obviously the French movie Love Me If You Dare (I haven’t seen it, but it was fairly successful and widely reviewed and talked about when it first came out).

Lots of not-so-happy news items today, but also a baby! So if you slog through the less happy parts of the post, I will reward you with a baby at the end!
